OK. I have been using BBs for 10+ years and unless Verizon changed their plans in the last few days, that is wrong. Maybe what they told you is that when the BB is connected, they will detect it and change the plan automatically to a BB plan. Both are the same price so maybe that is what the CSR meant to say?

Enjoy your new device. And when email doesn't work or BBM or the Browser, remember to call that CSR back and ask why.
